Interview

Had 1 interview and was hired. Interview took about 2 hours. Met with 1 American and 2 Japanese. No unexpected questions. Very businesslike meeting with very little banter. The American conducted the interview. The Japanese asked 1 question each. Interview was conducted in a motel conference room.

Interview

they did not even look at my work and asked me a ton of questions that my resume clearly stated, it was extremely embarrassing for them to not be prepared for a position that has been vacant for months. I would suggest looking at people work and reading their resume before the interview begins because that will tell you the most about the developer.

Interview

Good interview. I came in for an initial face to face interview with the Associate Manager and went back in for a second round interview with 2 more people (including Lead Developer and Marketing Director). The entire process was long, about 2 months from when I first sent an application to when they made the decision. Although I did not get an offer, their salary range was much lower than anticipated, which would've made it difficult to accept anyway. Not getting this job was a blessing in disguise as I found a better opportunity not long after. And, I have to say, two months later, they are advertising the same position again, which proves their turnover is high as stated in some reviews.

Interview

The person interviewing me was easy to talk to and get along with. Very professional and enjoyed being asked questions. The staff at the front desk and a few of the employees were very friendly and helpful. Overall my first impression of this company was it is a professional workplace but there is also a great atmosphere with the people involved here. I felt as if this position was more for those who want a steady job, when I compare it to professional design agencies like Envoy, Column Five, etc.

Interview

Surprise panel interview. General questions, no tricks. Out of 3 interviewers and 1 recruiter, no one got back to me regarding hiring me or not hiring me. Total waste of time, a very big disappointment from such a big name company.

I applied online. The process took 5+ months. I interviewed at Makita U.S.A. (La Mirada, CA) in June 2012.

Interview

Interview started with a third party recruiter, a 30-45 minute phone interview basically covering skills, past experiences and whatnot. Next step is an in-person with hiring manager, for 3+ hours going over various aspect of what the hiring manager expects from the hire and the position. Very direct line of questions, not overtly difficult, mostly trying to get a sense of your particular management style.

The third party recruiter did her best to prep you for the interview, but there's some disconnect between the hiring manager and the recruiter, in that what was told to me prior to the interview as to what the hiring manager is looking for does not "jive" with what the hiring manager is looking for. Probably the reason why, after 3.5 months, the position is still open and they're still looking, despite the desperation in the hiring manager's tone of questioning as to the importance to this particular position.

Interview Questions

The question was prefaced with, "this is not a trick question," probably a good indication that it IS going to be a trick question. It was asked what my ideal weekly working hours are like. The actual answer they were looking for was "I'll work however long it requires to finish the job" rather than "Probably anywhere from 45-50 hours a week, max." Answer Question
